i like the economy. it's really important in determining an election. what i hate are the forecast. when they say so and so has a 66% chance of winning or 32% chance of winningment because if you tell me you think you can quantify an event that is about to happen that you don't expect like the 47% comment or a debate performance, you think are you a wizard. that's not possible. the pollsters tell us what's happening now. when they start projecting, they're getting into silly land. the last comment. not to pick on the iowa markets, believe me i pay tension to the iowa markets. they've done better since 1988. that is a sample size of six. what study would have a sample-- we've had six national elections since thenment who has a study with a sample size of six. so i like the polls. i like the economy. i don't like the forecast. >> all right, you heard it here. >> wow. >> woodruff: now let's talk about what happened last night. the debate between the vice presidential candidates, 24 hours later, mark. what s
